A Generous Reward
Rong Tianding came up with a terrible idea.
Zhang Xuezhou expressed his strong agreement.
Wei Shao'er was angry for a few seconds before she came to her senses.
If Our Lady of Māṇā no longer appears as a savior of suffering, this is the only path she has left.
This is one of the few assets she can utilize her beauty.
But Wei Shao'er really couldn't find that many fools, not even in a place like Chang'an City where high-level cultivators gathered.
Few people are fools who can cultivate to her level; they would give her the pills they used to break through to the Divine Ability Realm.
Do you have any hypnotic Technique Method?
Even the most beautiful appearance cannot deceive so many powerful cultivators, so Wei Shao'er couldn't help but inquire about some other unorthodox methods.
To Wei Shao'er's disappointment, Zhang Xuezhou and Rong Tianding turned out to be not this kind of people.
"No, no, we don't have the skills to rob and plunder," Zhang Xuezhou said cautiously. "Otherwise, we wouldn't be setting up a stall every day to earn a meager living!"
"How about I go and stab people every day, and then have them come to you for treatment?" Wei Shao'er pondered. "I'll try to injure them as badly as possible, and you can ask them for various pills or powerful medicines. We can split it 50/50!"
"Lord Qu Ni has been investigating my background all day. If you don't want me to die soon, I hope you'll stop doing things like this!"
Zhang Xuezhou waved his hands repeatedly.
He was already considered quite bold, but compared to someone as audacious as Wei Shao'er, he was clearly inferior.
At least Zhang Xuezhou wouldn't dare to cooperate with Wei Shao'er like this.
He wanted to be born to make money, and he also wanted to be born to spend it.
Zhang Xuezhou sought a peaceful place in Chang'an City, hoping to ride the coattails of the Han Dynasty's fortunes to advance his career, rather than taking great risks in Chang'an City.
He's now struggling to make ends meet with his family in tow, and he has absolutely no desire to suffer the fate of having his entire family implicated.
He rejected Wei Shao'er's suggestion outright.
With words that were both soft and firm, Wei Shao'er had no choice but to reluctantly abandon the plan.
"You're not going to have a problem right away, let's figure something out slowly!"
Given Wei Shao'er's past behavior of dragging others down with him when he was about to die, Zhang Xuezhou and Wei Shao'er were extremely cautious when they discussed the matter, fearing that the other party might suddenly lose his will to live and attack people violently.
"Do you have any other ideas?" Wei Shao'er asked in a low voice.
"Think about it slowly, you'll eventually come up with a solution," Zhang Xuezhou reassured him.
"If you don't want to seduce a dozen or so people, then go ahead and mess with that Chen Zhang guy. Anyway, his family is a Marquis's mansion, so they can afford to mess with him," Rong Tianding said.
"That makes sense," Zhang Xuezhou nodded. "It's just that Chen Zhang seems a bit dull, but this Qu Nihou doesn't seem easy to fool. We shouldn't let things escalate into a life-or-death feud!"
For an ordinary official's family, their wealth is indeed hard to describe.
However, given that the Marquis of Qu Ni's family had accumulated wealth over generations, their assets were likely beyond the imagination of ordinary people.
At least Qu Nihou's attitude of spending ten taels of silver was similar to that of the Northern Army's junior officers who spent ten and a half taels of silver.
The Marquis of Qu Ni's family fortune might be able to withstand Wei Shao'er's antics.
More importantly, Chen Zhang is quite infatuated with Wei Shao'er, so we can test the waters further.
After a few brief analyses, Wei Shao'er nodded, indicating that he had calmed down and was ready to try this method of thoroughly exploiting one problem.
As for any life-or-death feud, Wei Shao'er didn't care about that.
She was already facing a life-or-death situation, possibly even the loss of her unborn child; how could she possibly care about a blood feud?
As long as she doesn't leak Wei Qing's information, this matter won't affect anyone.
"If I survive, I will repay you handsomely in the future!"
Wei Shao'er cupped his hands in greeting, then leaped through the window and disappeared into the adjacent side room.
She initially dreamed of roaming the world and upholding justice, but now her thoughts are clearly less arrogant and she only wants to save her life. As for the future, that's something to worry about later.
"She said there was a serious report; could this be a major retaliation against us?"
Zhang Xuezhou moved out of the original inn, but Wei Shao'er followed closely behind, and this persistent behavior of a vengeful spirit worried Rong Tianding.
He glanced warily at the guest room next door before speaking to Zhang Xuezhou in a low voice.
"That's one way to understand it!"
Zhang Xuezhou nodded, agreeing with Rong Tianding's opinion as usual.
Not to mention Rong Tianding was alarmed, Zhang Xuezhou was also somewhat frightened by Wei Shao'er's actions.
He even considered leaving Chang'an City to hide away.
But Zhang Xuezhou eventually gave up on that idea.
No matter what, Rong Tianding's revival was related to Wei Shao'er, and he also got to know the Holy Mother of Wudang through Wei Shao'er, thus dispelling bad luck.
Zhang Xuezhou wasn't entirely heartless; as long as Wei Shao'er remained emotionally stable, he was willing to cooperate to some extent.
Moreover, their collaboration with Wei Shao'er is quite good.
Zhang Xuezhou tossed the two silver ingots he had just received, thinking that with the gold ingot from Dong Zhongshu, they could buy a house relatively close to the wealthy area.
Houses in affluent areas are less noisy and generally safer.
If they could get their hands on some more money, they might be able to choose some better properties instead of seeking value for money among the worst properties in Chang'an City.
"Armor of Technique Method?"
After Zhang Xuezhou comforted Rong Tianding, Rong Tianding calmed down and began to mention the information he had learned from Wei Shao'er.
This brought Zhang Xuezhou back to his senses.
"So that layer inside you could annihilate the power of Technique Method. No wonder the Southern Bright Flame within you stopped!"
The Technique Method of the Annihilation Armor within Rong Tianding's body is extremely low, so low that it can only annihilate Technique Method at a low cultivation level, but the Nanming Fire released by Rong Tianding himself is also at this low level.
The flames eventually died down, and the gloomy corpse energy dissipated with the sunlight and the clash between Qi and Blood, ultimately saving Rong Tianding's life.
"Your abilities are worth developing," Zhang Xuezhou said. "With such abilities, you won't be afraid of others using the Southern Ming fire to burn you down."
"How are we supposed to develop this?" Rong Tianding said, his head throbbing. "I can't exactly go and kill two dragons to drink their blood and eat their flesh, can I?"
Similar types of Demon Power can be stacked and developed. As long as Rong Tianding thought about needing to slay the dragon, his suicidal thoughts quickly subsided.
"It doesn't have to be a dragon; something similar is fine too," Zhang Xuezhou said. "I saw a kind of Flood Dragon Fish in a lake in the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains. That fish carried a trace of jiao dragon blood, so it should have some effect."
"Cousin, you have seen so much!" Rong Tianding exclaimed in amazement.
"I've also seen a golden arowana; eating it should be useful too. We can't rush this; let's take it slow and try it when the opportunity arises!"
Improving one's Technique Method Annihilation Armor is obviously extremely difficult; otherwise, Wei Shao'er wouldn't have needed to take such a large dose, and the royal family would already be equipped with Technique Method Annihilation Armor by now.
However, Zhang Xuezhou was not eager to develop Rong Tianding's abilities. He would participate if fortuitous opportunity fortuitous opportunity arose, and if not, he would just lay a foundation. Forcing it would be putting the cart before the horse.
Moreover, developing Demon Power is not necessarily the right path.
For Rong Tianding, the inheritance of the Corpse-Slaying School is fundamental.
